What is an essay?
Introduction should introduce the topic to be discussed by preparing the reader for what is to follow. Keep it concise and informative. It may be useful to summarise briefly the overall theme or argument of the essay, indicating the main points to be made.
Body of the essay is where the bulk of the argument is made. The body comprises a coherent treatment of the topic as stated in the introduction, and consists of a series of major paragraphs that develop in a logical sequence. Support your arguments and generalisations with adequate evidence and references to the appropriate sources.
Conclusion should restate briefly the key arguments or themes and their implications. You should show how your analysis has allowed you to draw general and specific conclusions about the topic. Do not introduce new ideas at this stage.

Refer to the overall context before providing specifics
One major change that has occurred in the Western family is an increased incidence in divorce. This change is borne out clearly in census figures. For example thirty years ago in Australia only one marriage in ten ended in divorce; nowadays the figure is more than one in three (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1996). An interesting issue is why this change has occurred - a question that has been considered by a number of sociologists. In this essay, I will seek to critically examine a number of sociological explanations for the 'divorce phenomenon' and also consider the social policy implications that each explanation carries with it. It will be argued that the best explanations are to be found within a broad socio-economic framework.

Citation exercise
Where would you place the citations in this paragraph?
Research has accumulated ample evidence demonstrating the beneficial consequences of charismatic leadership behavior (e.g., Judge & Piccolo, 2004; Lowe, Kroeck, & Sivasubramaniam, 1996). Charismatic leaders develop and communicate an emotionally captivating vision, foster the acceptance of shared goals, and motivate followers for the achievement of common aspirations (Avolio & Bass, 1988; Conger & Kanungo, 1987; Shamir, House, & Arthur, 1993). This set of behaviors is reflected in related leadership concepts, such as transformational (Bass, 1985; Burns, 1978) and visionary leadership (Sashkin, 1988). Measures of such leadership have shown significant overlap, and the findings from studies of charismatic, transformational, and visionary leadership generally converge (Judge, Woolf, Hurst, & Livingston, 2006; Shamir et al., 1993). In line with previous work (e.g., Ehrhart & Klein, 2001; House & Shamir, 1993; Howell & Shamir, 2005), we therefore use the term charismatic leadership to also cover research on transformational and visionary leadership.
